'Precious,' 'A Single Man' Among GLAAD Nominees

The awards season rolls on, as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) announced the nominations for their 21st annual Media Awards yesterday. And where there's an awards show, there's bound to be a nomination for 'Precious.'

Yes, 'Precious,' the small budget film from director Lee Daniels about the harrowing life of an inner city teen, continued its march towards the Oscars with yet another major nomination, this time in GLAAD's "Outstanding Film -- Wide Release" category. The film, which now seems a lock for one of the ten best picture slots in this year's expanded Academy Awards Best Picture field, has been honored with nominations by nearly every major media organization in America, including the Directors Guild of America, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Golden Globes.
